Sustainable intensification of crop-livestock systems to improve food security and farm income diversification in the Ethiopian highlands Project Design Workshop 30 January - 2 February 2012, Addis Ababa Ethiopia
World cafe on gaps - Gender (Katherine Snyder)
This workshop provides an opportunity for a broad group of important stakeholders to both learn about the project plans and to share their views on expectations from and opportunities for synergies with the project (days 1 and 2) and for the core project team to finalize the project details (days 3 and 4). How to integrate gender in the work of this project:
Farm-level decision-making within household-gendered entry point;
Gender and age - schooling / labor
Gendered assets: focus on livestock
Gendered groups such as S+L
Gendered impact of intensification
Dependency ratio - producers / consumers. Gender + age.
Gender + religion / gender ideology;
Income goes up, money goes out (man spends it)
Who gets the money in case of bigger income-generating activities?
Does empowerment cause conflict?
Depends on how the change occurs
Depends on household characteristics
Trade-offs for gender/age equity (using manure for soil fertility instead of fuel)
Livestock: choice of commodity makes a difference (small ruminants often managed by women, but may not make money from marketing)
Agro-forestry (important that it provides opportunities for both)
Women: fruit/fuel trees as sources of nutrition (have own criteria)
Men: Wood for pole / wood for cash
Mode farmer selection (important to include female-headed households)
How to incorporate in the workplan? Gender should be incorporated by specifying percentage;
